coincidentally, while all the kids were playing, I noticed a younger child ask my son about his sweet ass phaser gun and watched as my kid sat down and built a quickie gun for the other kid, handed it to him and ran off too play some more. the other kid had the biggest grin on his face and ran over to the bar, yelling "mommy, mommy". Guess who his mommy was? Exactly the ban happy broad. He ran up to her, "mommy, I have a gun!" What did she say? "As long as it only shoots love, right?" The kid didn't answer, he turned around to go play, and the mom yelled after him, "Go shoot love into the world!"

We were at legoland recently getting plastered at the bar while watching all the kids run around the play area with lego guns and swords -- having a good time -- when I overheard a conversation that made me laugh at the delicious irony.
There was a woman explaining to her friends how she formed local activist group in order to ban plastic bags in their town. They gathered signatures, they talked to the council members, they got it all ready to ban those evil plastic bags from their town. Then the city attorney informed them that it was not possible, as evidently the state had passed a law preventing the locales from banning plastic bags. "The state actually has a law that says we can't ban them! How dare they, they are killing the environment and they wont let us ban them"
I laughed from a few seats away and 4 heads swiveled to stare at me. I went backed to drinking thinking maybe we found the solution to the ban happy mob, Ban them!

Seriously, last I checked they still have slavery in parts of Africa. Blacks enslaving blacks... not whitey involved.
Whats funny about this, is usually when I tell DW about these types of stories, she rolls her eyes or I think suspects I'm making them up or reading fake news. But she stumbled upon this one and was just as sick and fucking tired of it as both of us.

Dunno if she can be, she probably agrees with the law. It would be a fundamental difference of opinion.
But, if I'm breaking the law. I'm not gonna be surprised if somebody calls em on me, in fact I fully expect it. I've broken many laws, many times and everytime I have weighed the pros/cons if it is worth the risk/hassle.

You can get off your soapbox. I said I wouldn't have bothered to call the cops, but at the same time I'm not gonna go crazy on some broad for doing what she has been trained to do and is actually the law.

When the story came out, it was told/not disagreed: that the manager told them to buy something or leave, they refused, manager asked them to leave, they refused, the manager told them she was calling the cops then, they guys replied "I don't care". meh

Both you and the article in the OP are showing your norm-gender privilege. If this "man" was in the ladies room, then there is all the reason to believe that she identifies as a lady and you do her a disservice by not catering to her delusions.

The other day when discussing what to do for mothers day, my MIL asked if wanted to my rapini and sausage lasagna. She asks so little and does so much for us; that I couldn't help but oblige. Spent the better part of the day yesterday getting it ready for today. Made a few extra in breadpans to give away and 1 for the freezer.
Rapini, gently cooked down in olive oil -- drained well.
Ample amounts of garlic spread (see my infopic I have posted elsewhere)
Roasted sweet and spicy red pepper paste with a fennel bulb mixed
Italian sausage crumbles, Ricotta, Asiago, Gran Pardano, Provolone, Parmigiano.
Garlic spread used on 2 layers, Red pepper paste used on 2 layers, ricotta used on 1 layer in the middle. Rapini, Sausage, cheese, throughout.

Not really, because the other passenger claims the wanted guy pushed her foot down on the accelerator while she was trying to put it into park, causing it to jump back in reverse at the cops, causing them to open fire and kill the driver. So her getting killed is a direct result of his actions. or some shit.

Aint working though. I think I told this story before, but I'll tell it again. At the legoland hotel they have a big play area around a castle, with giant pools of legos to build with. You see dozens of boys in the area playing around. What is the FIRST thing nearly every boy did? Built either a lego sword or lego gun or both. Then they proceed to run and chase and shoot and swordfight with their lego creations. And mind you, these are all kids that have grown their entire lives with guns and weapons having been explicitly forbidden from role playing at their schools, daycare. etc. And yet it was the first thing every single one of them thought to build. My kid loved every minute of it.

I hate to break it to you, but I'd wager more shit gets on walls everyday in America from non-homeless people. Especially people that "hover" over a public toilet and have explosive shits. I used to have to clean the michaels bathrooms, which the largest demographic was old white women. Not a week would go by without shit on the womens bathroom wall -- the mens bathroom was generally in pristine condition.
